Als Konstrukteur bei einem Autohersteller entwirft er neue Motorteile.

developer
Der Entwickler and der Konstrukteur can both be involved in creating a technical product. Der Entwickler is more likely to be involved in the entire process, from the initial idea to market readiness, while der Konstrukteur focuses especially on planning the technical design and construction. Use „Konstrukteur“ when the specific technical construction is the main focus.
Der Konstrukteur plante den Rahmen des neuen Fahrrads und legte seine genaue Bauweise fest.
